So is Africa.

Stop with all the racism already.

Stop the killings...they say.

Are there a lot of African immigrants in Greece?

Probably a lot of African athletes for the Olympics.

I thought she was talking about the Olympics and London as well, but it appears that she's talking about Greece.

Who knows. Either way, I think it is over the top to just shout to the rooftops that she's racist.

Oh yeah, now I see that. Well I don't know what the hell she was trying to say.

[Assunkkensatt]

I sort of feel like I'm missing something. She's talking about mosquitoes chomping on people from a place where there are a lot of mosquitoes. How is that related to race at all?

It is an incredibly stupid thing to say because one should realize there will be backlash about it like this. But it isn't like she said something that was even stereotypical, let alone racist. At least in my opinion. But maybe I'm missing something.

Maybe the racist part is lost in translation.

That's true. I don't speak Greek. Or Olympic athlete.

[Alexeryy]

and why are the Greeks going to the Olympics, I thought they had an austerity thing going.

Greek high jumper fails dope test, to miss Games

Getty Images Dimitrios Chondrokoukis, a Greek high jumper, was a torchbearer for Greece and lit a cauldron with the Olympic Flame atop the Athens Acropolis.

ATHENS, July 26 (Reuters) - Greece's world indoor high jump champion Dimitrios Chondrokoukis has pulled out of the London Olympics after testing positive for a banned substance, the athlete's father said on Thursday

"Dimitrios will not take part in the Olympic Games, leaving unfulfilled a dream of a lifetime," his father and coach Kyriakos Chondrokoukis said in a statement reported by Greek media and confirmed by a Greek athletics federation official.
The 24-year-old high jumper, who was one of Greece's best hopes for a medal in track and field, will seek a retest after testing positive for banned anabolic steroid Stanozolol, his father said.
Stanozolol is designed to mimic the effects of the male sex hormone testosterone.
"I will fight - we will fight - to respond and see exactly what happened," the statement said.
"Not only for us as a family, but for the sports fans who have embraced Dimitrios with so much love."
His exit is the second blow for Greece's Olympics hopes in as many days, after triple jumper Paraskevi Papachristou was withdrawn from the London team on Wednesday for a tweet on Africans in Greece that was slammed as racist.
Chondrokoukis won gold at the 2012 World Indoor Championships in Istanbul with a personal best of 2.33 metres. His personal best outdoors is 2.32

lets try it in context we would understand. If someone said:

"with so many Africans in Minneapolis, at least the West Nile mosquitos will be eating food from their own home."

would people consider that racist? I would say it is pretty racially insensitive to say the least.

I checked this one out with some black people I know. I got "that is so wrong", "that is messed up" and "you can't say that". But again, young people say stupid things. It's their job.

According to Phan, I'm one of the resident racists we have here and I'm going to agree this girl's the twitter message, was pretty damn racist.

DGF, what do you think?

[hereiamguy]

To me, it implies there are too many "Africans" in Greece. If she was implying that, it is racist - but I can see it just being a stupid joke, which is why I said racially insensitive, she may have meant no ill will, but just didn't think about how other people would view it.

What if was, "With all these folks from MN here for the Olympics, at least the mosquitoes will have some homecooked meals to eat"?

That statement is not based on race. Apples and Oranges

She's from Greece, MN is in America. So is it culturally insensitive? What you are basically saying is that anytime someone of one race says something about another race, it must be racist. Or at least you are saying that about her statement.

My point is that anytime there are two races involved, everyone runs to say it is racist. I simply don't believe that is true.

maybe to minnesotans, but really who would that bother?
